Logic would show that by now, reactionaries would be loath…
to force themselves into other people’s lives. Logic finishes second to hypocrisy unchained.

CPAC’s Gay Porn Star Honoree, Ann Coulter, and the Politics of Personal Crisis
I don’t know if David Horowitz knew Cpl. Matt Sanchez was once a gay porn star and male prostitute when he introduced him to me at last weekend’s CPAC. But he did know that Sanchez was an eager yes-man, and a supposed victim of the campus PC thuggery Horowitz has made a career out of decrying.
As Horowitz played cardiologist, ranting to me about how each leftist “has hatred in his heart” and how members of the New Left to which he once belonged had “treason in their hearts,” Sanchez stood faithfully by his side, muttering encouragement. “That’s right. That’s right,” Sanchez would say, almost on cue. Whenever I spoke, Sanchez would mumble something under his breath like, “That’s such a lie! Omigod!” or “See! Liberals are hateful.”
Horowitz probably discovered Sanchez after the ex-Marine appeared on Hannity & Colmes alleging that while studying at Columbia University, he was called a “baby-killer” by members of that school’s International Socialist Organization. This alleged episode, which was investigated by Columbia but never confirmed, also earned Sanchez a spot on the O’Reilly Factor.
For his supposed courage in the face of liberal cruelty, Cpl. Sanchez was presented with the Jeanne Kirpatrick Academic Freedom Award at this year’s CPAC. Sanchez was the perfect vehicle for the conservative movement’s ongoing attempt to wrap itself in the uniform, and to heap resentment on liberals for their supposed anti-military bias.
